Curtis Wayne Temple

Curtis Wayne Temple, was born September 26, 1992 in Fresno, California.  To the ones who knew him the best, it was “Dirty Curt”. He is the son of Janelle (Riojas) and Lance Temple.  He was received by God on April 5, 2015 by a terrible truck accident on I4 and Universal in Orlando, FL.  He was driving his truck and doing what he loved.  For some, not so terrible.  Curtis graduated from Celebration High School in 2011.  There he was a Wrestler for 4 years.  He was 1 wrestle shy of going to states his Senior year.  He also played football, number 55, which he was on Varsity his Sophomore and Junior year.  There was no stopping him in playing sports.  He would play with a broken nose and broken fingers.  It didn’t bother him.  Curtis was a country boy at heart. He loved being around cars, trucks, his friends, and most of all, his family.  He was always tinkering around with tools and fixing something.  He loved the outdoors.  You couldn’t keep him inside, unless he was sleeping, which he loved to do.

Curtis is preceded in death by paternal grandmother Sunny Temple (2006).  Curtis leaves to cherish his memory parents Janelle and Lance Temple of Kissimmee; four brothers; Lance, his wife Laila and newborn Maya; Travis,  Justin  and Lucas Temple, and his baby sister Nicole Temple all from the Orlando, FL area;  paternal grandfather Richard Oliver Temple of Virginia; maternal grandparents Larry & Mary Jane Riojas of Fresno, California; his Uncle Rick Temple of Orlando, FL (cousin Ritchie and wife Christy Temple, and their kids, Brooke, Nash and Tatum of Texas, Uncle Wayne and Aunt Linda Temple of New Jersey, Aunt Dawn Smith (Tabitha Smith of Kissimmee, FL, cousins Bobby and Kristen Smith and little Krysten,  Candice Smith and her son Marcus.   He is also survived by his Uncle Lawrence Riojas of Bakersfield, CA, his Aunt Kimmie and Uncle Shawn Erwin of Clovis, CA (and cousins Patrick and Gillian), his Uncle Anthony and Chris Riojas of Coarsegold, CA (and cousins Anthony and Theresa).

Born into a family of five boys and one girl, his tenacity gave him the fortitude that would propel his extreme life style. Many assume Curtis’s life was short lived or was taken from us too soon. What many fail to realize is that Curtis did just that… He LIVED. What you thought or wished of doing, he did. His “Dare Devil” persona was reminiscent of a modern day James Dean. Complete with just enough charm to get him both in and out of sticky situations. Curtis didn’t party! He was the party! In one single weekend he could be seen jumping from the panama city bridge over the ocean, to driving miles away into the wilderness, to go hog hunting in a giant 4x4 with a 2.23 caliber semiautomatic AK47 equipped with an infrared scope in some swamp that few people would dare venture into. He drove fast, LOUD, and big. He didn’t need attention, he caused attention. He didn’t just make a scene, he was the movie. His charisma is what is most remembered.   The “Life of the party” being his most nominated award.

Ancient Egyptians believed that upon death they would be asked two questions and their answers would determine whether they could continue their journey in the afterlife. The first question was, "Did you bring joy?" The second was, "Did you find joy?"  Needless to say with no fear, Curtis Wayne Temple’s journey has just begun.

The family will be receiving friends on Friday April 10th, 2015 from 12:00 until 1:00 pm, followed by the funeral service at 1:00 pm at Community Presbyterian Church of Celebration, Kissimmee, FL  with Dr. William A. Lewis and Rev. Joseph Saragusa officiating.

Eugene Meacham Ashley


Eugene Ashley, was the youngest child of a family of five children. He was born in a small farming community of Orland California and living to the age of 90. He grew up there where his family worked their dairy and farm. Eugene had one brother and three sisters, but was born 15 years later than the next youngest sibling so he grew up virtually an only child, during the Depression Era. He joined the Air-Force toward the end of World-War II. The war ended before completing his pilot training. He shorty there-after was released from the service and then went to college at Northrop for his degree in Aeronautical Engineering. Eugene work for several aerospace companies, but then settled in Windermere Florida working at Martin Marietta until he retired. He enjoyed some 28 years in retirement. Eugene and Louise sold the family home in Windermere to travel the roads of the USA in their trailer. After a couple of years on the road they bought a smaller retirement home in the Williamsburg development close to SeaWorld Orlando. After Louise passed away he re-married to Ilse which he was with for the last 15 years. In addition to touring the country with his various trailers he had over the years, he also travel the world: Jamaica, Hawaii, Alaska, Japan, New Zealand, and Europe. 
 
Eugene Meacham Ashley is survived by wife Ilse and his progeny: Children Kathleen, Charles, and Carl. Grand-children Amber, Autumn, Stefanie, Elissa, and Maura. And one great-grand-daughter Paisley.
 
Eugene lived a full life. Found love twice, raised a successful family, and lived to enjoy all his grand-children. He was a highly successful aerospace engineer for a highly competitive field. Was a good carpenter: building cabinets, shelves, novel space saving furniture, go-cart, and tree house from bamboo. Eugene had participated in various activities such as: boating, scuba-diving, snorkeling, canoeing, hiking, piloting airplane, riding motorcycle, square dancing, ToastMasters (speech training club), assist in election campaigns, hypnosis, and hand-writing-analysis. 
Eugene was always reading and expanding his knowledge in countless areas and keeping up with current affairs. This continued up until his Alzheimer’s and dementia got to where he couldn’t remember what he was reading. I thought it interesting that he could fix the Air-Conditioner but then couldn’t remember how he fixed it. Early when he was having memory problem he bought a new home computer but then couldn’t handle the switch to a new version of Windows. It never occurred to me that someone who spend a career working with computer simulations would hit that wall. Eugene’s mind failed long before his body gave out but it was eventually pneumonia that took his life.
 
The date/time for Eugene’s memorial service is at St. Luke United Methodist Church of Windermere (http://www.st.lukes.org) on Friday March 27 at 10:00am with Minster David Stevens.

Ke'Lanii Ianna Johnson

 
 Ke'Lanii Ianna Johnson, age 1 month and 17 days old of Orlando, passed away on Sunday, March 15, 2015.  Ke'Lanii leaves to cherish her memory, parents Mykaela Johnson and Zyheem Smith; brother Kaden Johnson; maternal grandmother Ericka L.

Johnson; paternal grandmother Natika Samuels; maternal aunts, Kiara Johnson, Ta'Kerria Pugh; paternal aunt & uncles Znique Smith, Zahquan & Zahkeem Smith; great aunt Sharon Blackmon; great uncle Johnny Blackmon, Jr. & great-grandmother Virginia Newby.
 

 
When God calls little children to dwell with Him above, We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His love. For no heartache compares with the death of one small child Who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild. Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to His fold., so He picks a rosebud before it can grow old. God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but a few To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult, still somehow we must try, The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Good bye". So when a little child departs, we who are left behind Must realize God loves children Angels are hard to find.

When God calls little children to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild.

so He picks a rosebud before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but a few
To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult, still somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Good bye".
So when a little child departs, we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children Angels are hard to find.
 
 
Quand Dieu appelle les petits enfants de demeurer avec Lui ci-dessus,
Nous mortels remettent parfois en question la sagesse de Son Amour.
Pour ne chagrin compare avec la mort d'un petit enfant.
Qui fait tellement de choses à faire de notre monde semble merveilleux et doux
Peut-être Dieu pneus d'appeler les personnes âgées à sa bergerie.,
Il prend alors un bouton de rose avant de pouvoir vieillir.
Dieu sait combien nous en avons besoin, et ainsi il prend que quelques-uns
Pour rendre la terre du ciel plus beau à voir.
Croyant que ce est difficile, encore en quelque sorte nous devons essayer,
Le plus triste mot humanité sait sera toujours "Good bye".
Alors, quand un petit enfant se écarte, nous qui sont laissés pour compte
Doit réaliser Dieu aime les enfants Anges sont difficiles à trouver

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free;
I took His hand when I heard Him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
If my parting has left a void;
then fill it with remembered joy.
My life’s been full, I savored much;
good friends, good times,
a loved one’s touch.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief;
don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me;
God wanted me now, He set me free.
